Hi Rob

The mount was one of the first Orion Atlas AZEQ-Gs to the country from BINTEL, so about 7 years as far as I recall. As for the hand controller it is the RJ connector. The port should be visible in the Skywatcher plate near the USB port.

Why don't I like it? Here are two graphs of PHD2 guiding, one for the NEQ6-Pro and one for the Orion. I've never been able to get the guiding as smooth with this one, I do not know why. If you look it doesn't even show the error averaged in seconds of arc, just pixels. Alignment is great as is goto.

I used it for this image of Eta recently using the ASIAIR Pro and was extremely happy.
